Artisanal Family Assistance
Hurricane Helene
Dear friends, family, and supporters,
Hurricane Helene has brought devastation to our community, and unfortunately, our beloved restaurant has been deeply affected. Artisanal will not operate for the remainder of the season. While the storm's impact was severe on the business, our greatest concern is for the incredible team that has worked tirelessly to make this place feel like home to so many.
Many of our staff members—chefs, servers, and support staff—have not only lost their workplace but also their homes. These are the people who have poured their hearts into every meal, every service, and every moment shared with you at the restaurant. Now, they need your help to rebuild their lives.
For nearly two decades, we've prided ourselves on being a tight-knit family. Our restaurant has weathered challenges before, but this time, we can’t do it alone. We're starting this GoFundMe to help provide immediate relief for our displaced employees. Your donations will go directly to:
- Emergency housing and shelter for staff who have lost their homes.
- Food, clothing, and basic necessities.
- Support for rebuilding and recovering in the weeks ahead.
Please consider donating and sharing this post to spread the word. We are so grateful for your continued support, and we look forward to the day we can welcome you back into our doors with open arms and a table full of love.
With deepest gratitude,
Artisanal Family
